THIS CANNOT BE HAPPENING!!
Kill me now. I mean it… just take me out back like a lame horse and put me down. I KNEW THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN!!!
My parents will be here in four days. FOUR DAYS. Tomorrow it will only be THREE DAYS… and I have a cold! It started out as loads of sneezing, but I told myself it was just from the dust we were kicking up while clearing out the spare room.
I feel it though, that familiar feeling in my nose and throat. I’m stuffy, I slept for three hours this afternoon when I should have been getting stuff done around the house. I’m tired.
This is almost exactly 1 year from our trip to Canada last year when I got sick 2 days after I arrived. I think we need to stop getting together during cold and flu seasons because obviously I’m not having much luck here.
Come on, I know some of you know where I live. Warnoud? Paule? Penny? You’ve been here, you know the way. I’ll leave a key under the mat, please just come in and smother me in my sleep.
I promise I’ll make sure Xander and mom know to still make sure you get your turkey!
Oh yeah, and just to add insult to injury… check out that big fat grey hair in the front of my head. Not only am I sick, I’M OLD! AAUURRRGGHHH!

Sorry to hear you are sick.
I have some store brand cough drops and store brand cough syrup from a trip to the US back in May when hubby got sick on vacation. You are welcome to it… contact me and we can see if we arrange a drop. :-)

lol. You’re gonna have to start putting yourself in quarantine so you stay germ free before you see family. Maybe get Xander to make a bubble for you :P

Aw I’m sorry! *sends tons of sick meds to you*
As for getting old…I’m 25 and I discovered my first gray hair a year ago. A few more have followed in its path…I refuse to acknolwedge them - so hair color it is!

Oh dear. Well three days is enough time to get over it too… if you get lots of sleep, drink lots of hot tea with ginger and lemon… I’ll bet you’ll feel much better very soon. I hope so!

Sorry to hear that and I hope you’ll be able to recover before your parents’ arrival.
I have more gray hair than you do, so don’t worry about it.

Sorry to hear you are sick, hopefully you’ll feel somewhat better by the time your parents get there. As for the grey hair, I can’t see it, and I am neither lying nor blind, lol. Maybe it is my monitor. lol sorry. :)

I always get sick when I visit in France… This year in March I had a 40C fever and I almost passed out on top of the Arch of Triumph. Sucks.
Hope you feel better soon!
